Summary
Annotation. Covers the temporary collapse of power of the Umayyad caliphate during the second civil war. Details the three main opposition movements: the political challenge of Ibn al-Zbayr, the religious challenge of the shi'iah (Alids), and the ideological challenge of the Kharijites. Paperback edition ($19.95) unseen. It's hard to imagine a literary fusion of the Anglo-Saxon chronicle, The Arabian Nights, and Herodotus until you've read al-Tabari (AD839-923). His history of the Middle East from pre-Islamic times to AD915 will comprise 38 volumes in this first complete, annotated translation from the Arabic. Volume 22 covers the early years of Abd al-Malib's reign, which reunited Islam after 12 years of civil war, and closely follows the career of al-Hajjaj, powerful governor in the east. Paperback edition ($16.95) not seen. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
